  1. 6. Modelling of nanometric cutting in metals using MD simulations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Mekanik

    Author : Damien Gautier; [2022]
    Keywords : Nanometric cutting; Molecular Dynamics; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis project has been done within the Mechanics department of Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH). It studies the nanometric cutting process of a single crystal copper workpiece by a cubic diamond tool using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations on the software LAMMPS. READ MORE

  3. 7. Advanced Footwear Technology, Are Ground Reaction Forces and Lower Extremity Loading Dependent on Shoe Energy Return Characteristics?

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Kalle Torniainen; [2022]
    Keywords : Biomechanics; Running; Advanced FootwearTechnology; Running mechanics; Motion analysis; Biomekanik; Löpmekanik; Rörelseanalys;

    Abstract : In the long distance running community there is currently controversy as a result of the release of Advanced Footwear Technology (AFT) type of shoes. The AFT shoes with performance enhancing mechanical properties are currently used with great success. READ MORE

  4. 8. Simulations of experimental crack development in ceramic material with notched specimen

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Clas Dahlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; Fracture mechanics; Ceramics; Dynamics; Ballistics; Hållfasthetslära; Brottmekanik; Keramer; Dynamik; Ballistik;

    Abstract : Low-density armour often uses ceramic materials, as their high compressive strength and relatively low weight make the material ideal for moving in the field. The ballistic protection works by redirecting the plastic flow of the projectile radially, which reduces penetration. READ MORE

  5. 9. Student Intuitions in Statistical Mechanics

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fysikundervisningens didaktik

    Author : Ebba Koerfer; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics education research; statistical mechanics; student reasoning; microstates and macrostates; distinguishable and indistinguishable particles; Boltzmann distribution;

    Abstract : This exploratory case study aimed to investigate patterns in student reasoning in statistical mechanics, in order to identify difficulties and develop ideas for future research. Upper-division undergraduate students, taking a course in statistical mechanics, were interviewed in groups. READ MORE

  6. 10. Individual Musculoskeletal Characteristics of Runners and Advanced Footwear Technology

    University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för fysisk aktivitet och hälsa

    Author : Sebastian Stattin; [2022]
    Keywords : Advanced Footwear Technology; AFT; Running Mechanics; Anthropometry; Neuromuscular Characteristics; Sports Equipment;

    Abstract : Background: In recent years, sudden improvements in long-distance running performance have been suggested to be due to the latest technological innovations in running footwear. However, inter-individual differences appear to be large in the performance enhancing effect these shoes elicit where some runners experience a decline in performance while others improve substantially.
